N.Srinivasan Removed As ICC Chairman

09 November,Mumbai

N. Srinivasan, the former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief and Tamil Nadu strongman, has been removed from his post of ICC Chairman, according to reports.

The decision was made during the BCCI’s annual general body meeting on Monday. Current BCCI chief Shashank Manohar’s name has been put forward as the new ICC chairman.

Earlier, there had been news reports that BCCI would change its nomination vis-a-vis ICC and name Manohar as the new chairman till the next Annual Conference of the world governing body in June when the Indian board-nominated person’s term comes to an end.

Srinivasan did not attend the AGM and Tamil Nadu CA was to be represented by VP P S Raman and the decision marks a complete end to Srinivasan’s hold in the Board.

Another important change in the proposed clauses is about the BCCI president approving every team picked by the national selection panel.

The existing clause says that the president “shall approve the composition of the team selected by the Selection Committee”, while the proposed clause reads, “The President, along with the Office Bearers, shall approve the composition of a team selected by the National Selection Committee from time to time.”
